Coming from the mesothelium tumor tissue cancer known as malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of the system. Mesothelium as the thoracic and abdominal cavities and line protection of these cells is a layer in a large number of internal organs.
Malignant Mesothelioma Types
Pleural mesothelioma is pleural mesothelioma, or a variety of malignant mesothelioma is called first. Approximately 75% of all mesothelioma mesothelioma create these conditions, the most common variety. The lung pleura, lung and chest wall to stop rubbing offers a greased surface of the thoracic cavity, thin serous membrane found. It also serves as a protective layer.The second most common type of mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma is peritoneal mesothelioma is defined as. The peritoneum is a thin serous membrane that covers the abdominal organs. Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, malignant mesothelioma. All these disease conditions mesothelioma ten% is 20%. These tumors tend to be much more invasive by individuals who are diagnosed with this condition assumes the presence of pleural mesothelioma were pulled shorter.
Mesothelioma 3 also known as pericardial mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma is the most common type. It is less than ten% of all mesothelioma cases. Pericardium (heart sac) is a serous membrane that surrounds and protects the heart.
Visceral pleural malignant mesothelioma every year, two, there are 200 new cases. Mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose and is rarely curable. Typical symptoms include shortness of breath and chest pain.
It brings
Asbestos is mainly the result of the visceral pleura and malignant mesothelioma. Or symptoms of mesothelioma marks the beginning and duration of exposure to asbestos about 20 to 50 long years.

Mesothelioma level
Stage I: Cancer of the lung and chest cavity, the lining around the heart and lungs and diaphragm are discovered.
Stage II: Cancer has spread through the lining of the chest lymph nodes in the chest.
Stage III: Cancer curtain lining the chest wall, or abdominal, thoracic center, the heart, to spread, and in some cases to a few nearby lymph nodes.
Stage IV: Cancer has spread to distant organs or tissues.
Treatment
Radiation and radiation therapy is used in cases of cancer localized in position.
Stages of malignant mesothelioma chemotherapy is used more sophisticated.
Cytoreductive treatments, and hyperthermic (heated) chemotherapy for peritoneal metastases (tumors containing peritoneum) and improves quality of life and lifestyle.
Surgery is an option for stage I malignant mesothelioma. A phase IV surgical methods to treat II is still evolving.
